Research direction

Start in the Android Settings UI that contains the “Send Pingbacks” and “Receive Pingbacks” toggles, then review the existing labels and nearby explanatory text. Update the wording so a new user can understand what sending and receiving pingbacks mean, and verify both settings on an Android device.
